BTW, I have committed code to the SVN repository
<http://mknod.org/svn/fetchmail/trunk> that prints a warning like this
if multidrop configuration is attempted without envelope option:

fetchmail: warning: multidrop for pop.example.org requires envelope option!
fetchmail: warning: Do not ask for support if all mail goes to postmaster!

To appear in the next release. I'm open for suggestions WRT improved wording.
